ABSTRACT = {In this article, the researcher at first focuses on introducing a linear regression based on the Z-number. 
In this regression, observations are real, but the coefficients and results of observations are unknown 
and in the form of Z-rating. Therefore, to estimate this type of regression, we have three distinct ways 
depending on different conditions dominating the problem. The three methods are a combination of 
artificial neural networks and fuzzy generalized improvements of the technique. Moreover the method 
of calculating the weights of the Z-number neural network has been mentioned and the stability of 
neural network weights is considered. In some examples, the answer is estimated compared with the 
original answer.},
